Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing 11

Tom Moody was replaced as head coach by Trevor Bayliss in 2020, but Bayliss departed after a disappointing 2021 season where Warner was dropped, and Williamson took over the captaincy. This season marked the end of Sunrisers' association with Warner and Rashid. Tom Moody then took over as head coach in 2022 but was later succeeded by Brian Lara. 

After losing their first two matches in 2022, Sunrisers bounced back with five consecutive victories thanks to their quick bowlers, who kept the opposition's score low. However, once the pitch conditions became less challenging, their fast-bowling attack was no longer as effective, and Williamson's poor form further hindered their progress, resulting in only one win in their final seven games.Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) made some changes in their team this year. It will be interesting to see how SRH performs with their new coach, captain, and players in this IPL 2023 season. Here are the probable Playing 11 of Sunrisers Hyderabad :

‍

1. Mayank Agarwal

2. Harry Brook

3. Rahul Tripathi

Match 29: CSK vs SRH Pitch and Weather Report

Pitch Report

The pitch report for the MA Chidambaram Stadium suggests that it is a favourable wicket for the batsmen, with a good pace and bounce. The pitch on this field is usually dry and hard, and it tends to deteriorate as time passes. There is no green grass on the field, making it dry and hard to bat on during the first two innings. Spinners might get some help but overall a balanced pitch for both batsman and bowler.

‍

• Initial Ball Movement (1st Inning): Less chance

• Initial Spin Movement(1st Inning): High chance of Turn on Pitch

• Middle Over: Good pace and bounce pitch

• 2nd Inning Pitch Behaviour: Advantage for spinner and batsman too

• Due factor: Less chance of Due

• Pitch Nature: Dry Pitch

‍

So, this cricket pitch is usually advantageous for the batsmen, the bowlers can also benefit from it. In matches played in the afternoon, the ball may exhibit early seam and swing movements. Additionally, the pitch is renowned for being favourable to spin bowlers, especially in the later parts of the game.
